Dick Rosenthal {l Wrote}:Really remarkable story. Paul Z can’t get a job in D1 football so he goes to LA and makes them into an ISL powerhouse. He still can’t get a D1 job so he quits and goes to the business world. They hire Swepson, who was part of the TOBias inner circle and accordingly was a long time BC and NC State assistant before failing miserably as HC at Elon (CAA FCS) and getting canned after 3 years. He was then bumping around various affirmative action slots within the NFL. He takes over the powerhouse built basically from scratch by a guy who was judged not good enough for a D1 coaching slot and in one season the program (despite having a roster stocked with a few kids who will play D1 and a few more who will play at various levels of 1AA) implodes the whole thing to the depths it was sitting at when Paul Z took over.
I miss the fights HJS and I would have with SFO back in the day over how bad Swepson was at coaching football. I believe the Coach Chimp character was born during one of those arguments. Good times.
